Perrault letting himself get sucked into Trye's war with Bobby Roberson, the only insider in city government I trust, was the first sign of a problem. Tyre fanning the flames of a split between Davis and Perrault was the biggest problem, and both of them got suckered into that situation. Then they go and hire a career bureaucrat with a questionable history and pay him more than a US Senator to be a city manager of a town of under 10K population. That scoundrel Tyre has played them like a fiddle..

Councilman Fritz said: "Democracy is a sham.
The government is run by a bureaucracy. Department’s decide what they think is best, they set their own budgets and formulate their own recommendations." Ya'll didnt just think that the bureaucrats were going to simply rollover and play dead did ya? Divide and conquer is a good gameplan and it looks like that was played. Someone got to Perreault who promptly sided with Horton and Tyre, who (Tyre) dominated all the meetings with rig-a-ma-roll, making simple folks heads explode, and/or feeling like the world has gone mad. The first week of the new council should have been to fire all the Dept heads and replace all the rot on the committees...(people who have been on these for many years, playing like Gods.)

Did Nick Fritz really just resign from the city council?
I say dont let him. Tell the City Council NOT TO ACCEPT his resignation.

The key test of this city council will be the tax cuts. Taxpayers need to see at least a 5 or 6 cent cut. A 1 to 3 cent cut would be only window dressing and this council would have failed.
I am concerned about Max Perrault being too chummy with the current leader of the corrupt tax-and-spend Sadler machine. What is going on there?

Is Facebook the only place the citizens can see the Washington Council meetings?? I dont know why Facebook is ever used as any part of Govt.
I tried to watch yesterday in real time, the volume is so low I had to use closed captions. Even then it seemed to me that the members were speaking gibberish. Have you ever been in a room full of smart people and none of them will say, Hey I hear your words, but you arent making any sense. I think that most of the people at that table were unable to understand each other, and they are afraid to be honest about it. How can the new manager lead, when his bosses are speaking chimp talk. I think Washington has gone from the kettle into the fire.

I would like to see a whole lot of useless City STAFF, fired.
The level of attentiveness some put to their jobs is what a carpenter or some handymen might call, "Close enough for Government Work." In other words its not of a great quality but it will get by. The Council members who tolerate it are just as much to blame.
